We know there is a lot of information to cover and you don't have a lot of time.
So we created a review course with brief lessons (most under 10 minutes) and review quizzes (4 to 12 questions each). You can even study in between patients!
There is also a final exam with 175 questions, as well as the practice exam from the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine.
From basic sleep and circadian science to clinical management of sleep disorders, this course will review all topics recommended by the Board of Behavioral Sleep Medicine
